What can I say?  I never intended net.women.only for anything like
voicing hatred of men or as a way of plotting to make them slaves.
If such nonsense starts appearing there, I'll start flaming!

I know that some men in the past have treated women badly, but I
think this kind of thing is turning around -- personally, I have
run into remarkably few situations of sexual discrimination -- none
I can think of at the Univ of Maryland where I'm a grad student.
I realize that such situations can and do occur, but I'm mostly
with Laura Creighton in that making generalizations about men
(inferior sex!?!?!) in response to a few individual men will only
cause many more problems than already do exist.

net.women.only is a place to share comman concerns -- not hatreds.
Let's work out these situations and responses one at a time -- most
of the men seem to me to be trying to understand; let's not flame
at them randomly...

Wondering how this could even come up...
